Savor the taste of sugar-powdered zeppole on a crisp fall afternoon. Along with live music and the scent of sausage-’n’-peppers, Columbus Day weekend will be a festive one at Mount Loretto.

“We’re looking forward to inviting families back to our campus to enjoy themselves at our event,” said Vincent Ignizio, CEO of Catholic Charities of Staten Island, the organizer of the event. “We’re also happy to announce that we’ve added a day and will be open from Friday through Monday Columbus Day weekend.”
